Joe Turner Playlist

If you follow this blog regularly, you may have noticed that blogging was light this week. It's been busy at the Theatre: we very rarely have two shows opening so close together. The cast and crew of Joe Turner's Come and Gone are enjoying their first week post-opening, as across the way, in the Thrust, Mary Zimmerman's The Arabian Nights has been been gearing up for previews--the first of which was held last night.

For now, though, audiences have been really responding to Joe Turner--they've been quiet and thoughtful, yet laughing in all the right places. And everyone seems to really love the pre-show playlist compiled by our music director, Dwight Andrews. It's a great mix of blues and gospel that really sets the tone for the world of the show. The music is really great--I might even add a few of these to my personal playlist. I highly recommend you check them out.
